i dont understand, it looks like some weird cross between a rave and a fundraiser, do you have to stay up for 48 hours straight?

yeah, teams stay up for 48 hours straight and dance to raise money for kids with cancer basically. if you live in PA around a psu campus you've probably seen groups of kids canning on weekends. it's really big here. i'm still at a branch campus though so i don't know the finer details of everything that goes on at state.

Basically, THON is a 46 hour dance marathon that is completely run by the students. It is the largest student-run philanthropy in the nation, raising something over 6.5 million dollars last year(that number in the video). Although frats and sorotities are the biggest fundraisers for it, pretty much every organization on campus gets involved with raising money. As someone said before, if youve ever been in central PA, along with a lot of other places(people go canning at their hometowns, so sometimes they go to MD, NY, NJ etc.) you will see people canning. This is one of the ways to raise money. THON starts tomorrow at 4, so they hype is really big on campus right now. THON is amazing because it unites the community, numerous kids come in and inspire people, tell their stories, and best of all, all of the money goes towards kids with cancer. In the video you might have seen FTK a few times. That means "For the Kids", a huge motto we live by here. All in all it is going to be an awesome time(im a freshman its going to be my first time) and I am pumped for it, so I figured I'd share it with you.
